'Ego cannot fathom it any other way'
Talks with Sri Cy Berfurygadatta #1
Ok, define “truth” for me
That which is not false.
You are being too technical about it. It is not about definitions and not about the philosophy of waking up either. What would be the point? The point is to wake up. When I close my curtains I can pretend it is raining outside for as long as I want. I can pretend all kinds of things about what goes on behind the curtains. All the while I remain locked inside.
If the point is just to wake up, why are you on reddit talking about it?
I cannot think of another point to make that is more worth making,
You clearly have some kind of philosophy about waking up as evidenced by your comments
My philosophy - if that is what you want to call it - is that all philosophers suffer the same ilness. The whole idea behind it is not to get answers or truths at all. They simply don't want the questions to come to an end. That's it. Child's play. The Stoics are a different bunch in this regard. There are some nuggets of truth in their particular turd. ;;)
Understanding awakening technically is fun and helps me communicate my ideas to others with greater precision, contributing to the awakening of others
You cannot think yourself awake at all. Just say it is fun.
Why you deify yoself ;;) You are teaching them YOUR understanding. They will do the same to someone else or learn some other thing about it and so it goes on and on and on.. turtles upon turtles. It is still about 'what' the thing is and not DAS DING AN SICH as the Germans would say.
...absolute statements like “truth exists. All else is untrue” helps nobody!
This statement holds the arrogance I am eager to expose
What is your intention here?
The question never enters my mind
I’m here both for me and for others
This is just what you tell yourself. Nothing more.
You are here PRIMARILY for you.
...a portion of what you say is insightful and helpful. Other times, not so much
I guess you speak for everyone on the planet now.
How are you vetting for anyone but yourself? And if it was helpful what was it helpful FOR and what if it was not helpful (according to your wishy washy requirements), then why not? You talk in generalities friend. Always about the 'we'. And about being or needing to be some kind of doo-gooder as if any of that has anything to do with smashing out of the dreamstate!? You are not smashing; because you do not want to be born again. The first one was already traumatic. This one ain't no picnic either ;;) You can always die in the womb, I guess. To each his own.
You talk a lot like someone who takes himself as the arbiter of what goes and what does not go. It is not a ..sane vibe you give off. The dream marks are all around ;;)
Do you see me as awake or asleep?
I never see the me as awake.
It is the absence of me (and we) that is missing ;;)
there’s another motivation driving your responses
Ego cannot fathom it any other way.
Cheers
